Facebook previews upcoming app-inspired newsfeed for desktop and mobile

Facebook previews upcoming app-inspired newsfeed for desktop and mobile

Facebook today announced a major revamp coming to its signature News Feed every user sees when they launch the Facebook app or login to Facebook on the desktop. The updated News Feed is heavily inspired by Facebook’s mobile app, which was first developed for iOS.

While there are several changes to the News Feed coming, the most obvious will appear in the desktop browser. Now Facebook’s website will feature the same left-side navigation browser that users reveal on its iOS apps by swiping to the right. In addition, significant changes are coming to the way the News Feed is displayed on the iPhone and iPad. From Facebook’s press release today:

Today we’re announcing a new version of Facebook designed to reduce clutter and focus more on stories from the people you care about. You see all the stories you saw in your News Feed before, but with a fresh new look. We’ve completely rebuilt each story to be much more vibrant and colorful and highlight the content that your friends are sharing. Photos, news articles, maps and events all look brighter and more beautiful.

To make sure you’re seeing all the stories you want to see, we’re introducing several new feeds to explore in addition to the same News Feed you have today:

- All Friends – a feed that shows you everything your friends are sharing

- Photos – a feed with nothing but photos from your friends and the Pages you like

- Music – a feed with posts about the music you listen to

- Following – a feed with the latest news from the Pages you like and the people you follow.

The new News Feed rollout won’t rollout won’t go live for everyone for a few weeks. Those wishing to get started early can visit www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed and add themselves to the waiting list.

Robocat's Kickstarter campaign for Thermodo

Robocat, maker of the three iOS weather apps Haze, Outside, and Thermo, had launched a Kickstarter campaign for Thermodo, a physical thermometer that integrates with the iPhone.
While a thermometer for iOS sounds pretty clever, I believe it has some hurdles to jump in addition to getting funded. Thermodo is a tiny dongle that hangs on your keychain and plugs into the iPhone’s headphone jack.

The Kickstarter page states:

"Simply plug Thermodo into your device and start the companion app or any other Thermodo enabled apps of your choice. The temperature reading takes place instantly. Thermodo is powered by your device. No external power is required, it can even run in the background while you do important stuff."

With Robocat's own weather apps and the many other competing apps, why make Thermodo?

The Kickstarter page states:

“The reason we made this hardware actually came from the users,” Robocat told Cult of Mac. “We often got 1-star reviews from users that complain that the temperature data is incorrect or that Thermo doesn’t work indoors. So we are trying to solve this issue with a hardware module. With Thermodo they will get accurate temperature readings from where they are. It’s also just really exciting to work with hardware that can communicate with the mobile devices in a creative way.”

The software is where the magic will really happen for Thermodo. You’ll be able to quickly measure the temperature indoors and outdoors. The dongle will let you track the temperature and see how it rises and falls throughout the day. No network connection is required.

Thermodo will work with Haze and Thermo, and Robotcat will have a SDK available for developers to add support for their weather apps. The idea is that you will have a miniature weather station with you at all times.

My concern is that you will have conflicting temperatures to deal with. Let's say it is 15 degrees outside here in Detroit, but I am in my car with the temperature set at 75 degrees. What is the temperature that I want my phone to report? The external or internal temperature? I contend that you will vary on this, but the man thing is both. My biggest issue is just why? Why do I want to know the exact temperature of my immediate environment? Why would the majority of people want to know this? I am quite sure there are many specialized professions and individuals that will require this, but are there enough to justify this product? Time will tell.
Here is Robocat's Kickstarter page.

Final Thoughts

If you have any appreciation whatsoever for art — or even if you don’t — you may be surprised at how much time you end up spending scrolling through all the works of art and lusting after certain pieces.

At the most, you may discover an artist or piece that resonates with you so deeply that you just have to have it. And at the least, you will garner some creative inspiration or a few minutes to relax and tap into the more artistic side of your mind. The app’s simplicity, as well as its well-organized and easy-to-navigate format, make it that much easier to get lost in.
